Adenocarcinoma of the prostate (CaP) is the the second highest cause of cancer deaths in U.S. males. Current chemotherapeutic and/or endocrine treatments do not specifically and selectively target tumor cells of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We hypothesized that because of the specific binding characteristics of antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG) to human prostatic-specific antigen (PSA), PSA-IgG could function as a carrier protein for conjugated chemotherapeutic drugs and that the immunoconjugate would selectively bind to prostatic epithelial cells and their tumors, but not to epithelial cells of unrelated organs. Our objective was to test the hypothesis using human prostatectomy specimens.
